Ten high school hunks strutted their stuff – and hammed it up for a laugh – onstage at Monte Vista High School’s Mr. Mustang competition last night. Students, teachers and parents cheered as the boys competed in four categories: casual wear, talent showcase, swimsuits and formal wear.
“It’s a spin-off on the normal, girl beauty pageants. It’s really funny,” said Rachel Brandt, a leadership student involved in putting the show together.
About $2,000 was raised from ticket sales and will go back to the school, said Alex Hebels, student spokesman for the event.
A panel of four teacher judges rated the contestants on each category and tallied up a winner at the end. This year Mr. January, Vinnie Butera, was named Mr. Mustang.
During the casual wear section, Butera wore a bright blue European soccer uniform and presented the judges with a pizza to spoof his Italian heritage.
The pageant was hosted by ASB president Abby Van Muijen and Rally Chair Shaun Collins, a senior, who made jokes between competitions.
Upperclassmen filtering into the Al Gentile Theater at Monte Vista for the contest said the contestants were well known for participating in extra curricular activities.
“It’s just, like, the confident guys who are enthusiastic,” said Katie Creed, who was selling tickets before the show.
The talent portion and the swimwear portion were the biggest hits of the night, Hebels said.
“Everyone really loved it,” he said.

…the other two pictures are better… perhaps they should be featured 🙂
Resident,
Which photos are you talking about? Maybe we can post them, too.

Dear Natalie,
The two other photos are more interesting than the one that was featured on the main Danville Weekly Web site. They contain more action and attractiveness to the story.
The chosen featured photo on the Web site just merely exhibits teenagers holding microphones and kids standing onstage. The other pictures capture the spirit of your story better.
I pray that you don’t see this as a pontification of my point of view, but a clarification of your question. If you have any further questions, please feel free to inquire and state them on this growing media outlet.

Hi again Resident,
We took your advice in the print version of the Weekly and ran the bottom two photos. It will be out tomorrow (Friday).
Thanks for checking out the website.
